Stable Aggregator LTD obtained a Romanian Class II license from the National Gambling Office (ONJN) on 1 September 2026. The license covers the distribution of specialized gambling software (distribuție de software specializat în domeniul jocurilor de noroc) and allows the company to supply game content to operators licensed in Romania. Szilaghi Consulting supported the application and acts as the company’s authorized representative in Romania.
Cluj-Napoca, 1 September 2026
The license
ONJN’s Class II (B2B) license is the supplier license under OUG 77/2009. Any business that provides gambling-related products or services to a Romanian Class I operator needs one, including studios, platforms, aggregators, hosting providers and payment processors.
Class II licenses are issued per activity. Production of gambling software and distribution of gambling software are separate activities, each with its own license and fees. Stable Aggregator’s license covers distribution, the activity that matches an aggregator’s role: taking content from game providers and delivering it, through one integration, to licensed operators.
For an aggregator, the license is the condition for doing business in Romania at all. Romanian Class I operators may contract only Class II-licensed suppliers, so an unlicensed aggregator cannot be integrated by any Romanian operator.
What an aggregator’s Class II file involves
A distribution file looks lighter than a studio’s, because the company is not developing the games. In practice, ONJN still examines the company and the technology through which the content reaches Romanian players:
- Corporate and fit-and-proper documents for the company, its directors and every holder of 5% or more, with criminal-record certificates from each country of residence. ONJN expects the full ownership chain to be disclosed up to the ultimate beneficial owners;
- Financial evidence, including paid-up capital and financial statements, or a 12-month forecast for a new company;
- Technical documentation for the aggregation platform: architecture and data flows, hosting, backup and disaster recovery, access control and incident response;
- Certification of the platform by a laboratory recognized by ONJN, and evidence that the games distributed are certified for the Romanian market;
- AML/CFT and responsible-gambling policies under Law 129/2019;
- Representation: an authorized representative in Romania and a power of attorney before ONJN, with documents translated into Romanian and apostilled where issued abroad.
ONJN decides within 30 days of a complete file. Most of the calendar time goes on the dossier, the laboratory reports and the translations.
Where a non-Romanian company stands
A Class II license does not require a Romanian permanent establishment.
- EU/EEA companies can hold the license directly through an authorized representative in Romania.
- Companies from outside the EU/EEA apply through a Romanian company (SRL). See setting up a Romanian company for a Class II license.
Either way, someone in Romania must receive ONJN correspondence, file the reports and keep the license in good standing. That is the role of local representation and ONJN reporting.
What Szilaghi Consulting does
For Stable Aggregator, we:
- supported the preparation and filing of the ONJN application for the distribution activity;
- act as the company’s authorized representative in Romania, handling correspondence with ONJN;
- handle the recurring reporting and the annual payments that keep the license in force.
What the license holder must do now
Getting the license is the start of the obligations, not the end:
- Annual payments: the €20,000 license fee and the €15,000 responsible-gambling contribution fall due every year. Missing them puts the license at risk.
- Reporting: since Law 141/2025, Class II licensees for gambling software must geolocate players independently, report to ONJN on request the countries and operators through which players reach their system, and file a monthly report by the 10th on players blocked because an operator without a Class I license gave access from Romania. See Class II reporting obligations under Law 141/2025.
- Who you may serve: a Class II holder may not supply unlicensed operators targeting Romanian players or domains on the ONJN blacklist. See the ban on Class II suppliers serving unlicensed sites.
- Changes: changes to shareholders, directors, the platform or the content distributed must be notified to ONJN.
